The day-late sunrise.

IMG_9082

This is yesterday's sunrise, at 7:05 a.m. I left it out of yesterday's collection because it didn't fit the color scheme, which was a deep red-orange. I decided to keep it for a day when I missed the sunrise, and that turned out to be the very next day. It rained all night and into the morning, so we stayed in, and I got the chance to use this picture from yesterday. I especially like the shadow cast by that one cloud. It seems to be a negative sunbeam.

Goings on: "The state of Montana took its electronic absentee voting system offline shortly after it went live when prospective voters discovered Kamala Harris wasn't on the ballot."

Our elections are fake.

These voting machines were "tested" and approved, gone over twice ... neigh three times .... and were deemed ready to go. Except one of the candidates isn't listed on the ballot.

But "everything is fine folks. Just go about your business. Keep voting. Don't revolt. Don't shoot anybody (except Trump)."

Very nice sunrise. I hid my head when I saw it was raining. Autumn. Then winter. Where have all the flowers gone?

The North Korean women’s soccer team won the U-20 World Cup today. I wonder how the country will celebrate. Maybe everyone will get an extra slice of bread for dinner tomorrow!

OK, that's a good one.

The Muslim Mayor of Hamtramck MI , an old Polish suburb of Detroit, now the majority Muslim city in America, just endorsed Trump ! They are upset at all the transgender stuff pushed by Democrats. Hilarious!

Here is a link to my discussion with perplexity.ai pro regarding my incorrect insistence that the word "anathema" should be used with the article "an"... as in "an anathema".
I don't think that a naked anathema will ever sound right to me. It makes me think that my lack of grammatical understanding indicates that my use of language is nothing more than a (poorly trained) LLM running in my head.

Tonight a few of my grade school friends are recalling friend and neighbor Mish Michaels who was cancelled before cancel culture. Recall her and all the persecuted scientists before and after, in the past and the future…

Unsurprisingly mainstream media neglects to publish her cause of death…

How sad. She committed suicide.

OK, you got me interested in this question, so I asked ChatGPT, and here was the nut graf of its answer:

Countability: "Anathema" is usually uncountable in its modern sense, so you wouldn't say "an anathema" in most cases.

For instance, if you said "the show was garbage," well garbage is uncountable, but if you said that the "the show was a failure" failures are countable. It really doesn't have to do with anything special about the word "anathema," just that it's uncountable. If you said that something was anathema to you, you might mean to say that it was an abomination to you. Once again abominations are countable, and anathema isn't.

Sources say the only members of Robinson’s staff remaining are a pizza delivery man, a plumber, and a stepsister.

Nearly all of Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson's campaign staff quits after CNN report https://www.wunc.org/politics/2024-09-22/mark-robinson-campaign-staff-quit-cnn-report

Has Trump yet claimed he doesn’t know Robinson, he may have met him once or twice?

Okay they’ve finally identified the problem; let’s take bets on how long it takes them to reach the conclusion. I put $10 on eternity.

How did Trump hack system

Inga said...

Trump just seems to love these guys. “He’s MLK on steroids”. On Diddy, he said “I just love that guy, he's a good guy, he’s a good friend of mine”. He had good things to say about Epstein too and he wished Ghislaine Maxwell well when she went to jail. See a pattern?

Dixcus, "neigh" is the whinny of a horse; "nay" as in no, is amazingly spelled like it sounds.

Montana had an input error, not a voting machine error and no evidence exists that our elections are fake. Try signing up to help administer the system at your local polling place where you will find dedicated, hard-working people from both parties.
